Meet the RAY Team
The RAY Network is coordinated by the RAY Network Coordination (since 2021 at the Finnish National Agency for Education; from 2008-2020 at IZ, the Austrian National Agency for Erasmus+ Youth in Action & European Solidarity Corps) and the RAY Research Team (Youth Policy Labs (YPL) in collaboration with Generation and Educational Science Institute (Genesis); formerly University of Innsbruck).
The RAY Network Coordination & the RAY Research Team and other, by the network appointed RAY partners (National Agency together with research partner), form the RAY Strategy Group, which acts as a advisory committee of the network.
Research at transnational level is implemented by the transnational research team, which is jointly managed by Youth Policy Labs (YPL) in Berlin and the Generation and Educational Science Institute (Genesis) in Vienna.
